Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (120ml)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240ml) or milk + vinegar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring (gel-based)
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened (170g)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (60g), sifted
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers (340g)
  • 1 tbsp shortening (optional)
  • Cake pop sticks
  • Sprinkles or crushed nuts for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk sugar and vegetable oil until blended. Add egg and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  4. Stir in red food coloring and white vinegar.
  5. Add dry ingredients in thirds alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry. Mix gently until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Crumble cooled cake into fine crumbs.
  8. Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  9. Combine cream cheese mixture with cake crumbs until mixture sticks together well. Add more cream cheese if too dry.
  10. Scoop about 1 ½ tbsp (25g) of mixture and roll into balls. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for at least 1 hour.
  11. Melt white chocolate chips with shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  12. Dip tip of each cake pop stick into melted chocolate, then insert halfway into each cake ball. Chill for 15 minutes.
  13. Dip each cake pop into melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place upright in a Styrofoam block or stand to set.
  14. Decorate with sprinkles or crushed nuts while coating is wet.
  15. Let cake pops set completely at room temperature or chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure cake is completely cool before crumbling to avoid sticky mixture. Use short microwave bursts when melting chocolate to prevent seizing. Chill cake balls before dipping to reduce breakage. Dip sticks first in chocolate to help them stay in place. Use a cookie scoop for consistent cake ball sizes. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
